Pre-Conference Tutorial: Radar Scenario Generation & Data Synthesis with MATLAB

Overview

In this session, you will learn how to use Radar Toolbox to create realistic scenarios that can be used to evaluate a radar system design and drive system level simulations. We will translate a preliminary radar design into a statistical model which will be used to generate detections, clustered detections, and tracks. We will then show how to move to a signal-level model directly from the statistical model.

Highlights

Using a series of examples, we will demonstrate how to:

• Model complex, multi-target scenarios including environmental and clutter effects
• Validate results between different modeling abstraction levels
• Integrate radar signal and data processing to process the synthesized data
